  ondolette -

  my problem is - i have no economic argument to make - because as i have confessed before i don't know enough about economics - I only could point out the absurdity of an argument which was made - and from the arguments i followed on one of my favorite blogs

  - the housingbubbleblog.com (and where they made much more sense) - i only can tell - you will not be able to make an argument in the same way you deal with your subjects of torture or national security - You have to forget every bit of bias and every bit of ideology and even THEN you might not reach a conclusion - because the picture is too big and much to divers (especially for an idiot like me) - And when i tried to start with homebuyers (who i thought were fools) and the lenders (who i thought were greedy and fools) - and i followed the lead up to the bankers (who were the even bigger fools)- to Wall Street and to the politicians (who were unbelievable greedy and awesome idiotic) i still couldn't solve the riddle as easy as a lot of these idiots on the so called right (who just blamed 'the people') - or the so called left (who mainly blamed Wall Street or the politicians) -

  The only thing i understood - there are so many 'Feelings' involved that even Freud (or especially Freud) would have had a problem (are Americans ....? - fill in whatever you want) -

  and so i FELT - just felt - that you should not play stupid political games with this issue -

  and a lot of people over here in good old Europe felt just the same thing - and they felt that somebody over there in the US od A - years ago should have put the brakes on this madness and that every day which is waisted in NOT solving the problem is a lost day - and blablabla - you know all these empty words - and the only thing i know - i really know - is

  - if America can't convince the world (and itself) ASOP that our outdated and f... up capitalistic system is still okidoki i will have a lot of troubles and no money in the future - and as good American i don't like that at all!
